Chapter 118
“Rebekah p>
At the sound of Candice’s voice, Rebekah turned. Candice and Sienna stood before them, Sienna looking down, stealing shy glances at Jensen.
Candice’s eyes flickered to Jensen, a mocking smile on her face. “Rebekah, a word of advice. You’ve been married for years, you have a six-year-old son. Don’t you think it’s embarrassing to be carrying on like this in public p>
Rebekah smiled back. “You’re a widow who’s been living in my house for months, and you’re not embarrassed. Who are you to lecture me p>
Her calm retort nearly made Candice lose her composure. She had never expected Rebekah to talk back. The old Rebekah would have just taken it. When had she grown such sharp thorns?
Sienna, seeing Candice being targeted, forgot her shyness and glared at Rebekah. “You’re the one cheating on your husband, and you have the nerve to talk to my sister-in-law? If it weren’t for your bratty son clinging to her, she wouldn’t have had to come to your house to take care of him for you! You should be grateful, not nasty p>
Candice put a hand on Sienna’s arm. “Sienna, don’t say that.” Then she looked at Rebekah. “I’m not staying at the Forrester estate anymore. I was only there because Shawn was sick. Don’t worry, Rebekah. My heart belongs to Keith. I have no intention of breaking up your family p>
Hearing her sister-in-law speak so devotedly of her late brother filled Sienna with a wave of sympathy, and her glare at Rebekah intensified. She looked around the opulent hall and sneered, “You’re just an impostor who stole my sister-in-law’s life. You wouldn’t even be able to set foot in a place like this otherwise. What do you have to be so proud of p>
Candice smirked. “I heard Benjamin cut off your credit card. Are you here to buy something, or just to look around p>
Rebekah had no desire to continue the conversation. She turned to Jensen. “Let’s go p>
He nodded, and they moved to find their seats. Sienna started to follow, but a cold glance from Jensen stopped her in her tracks. His eyes seemed to freeze her blood. She stood rooted to the spot untibthey
We then her heart began to
pound. That man was handsome and powerful. Very impressive.
“Let’s go, Sienna.” Candice led her over to the seats directly behind Rebekah and Jensen.
Sienna’s gaze remained fixed on the
back of Jensen’s head. His
expression grew colder and be clenched his fists, fighting the urge to turn around and throw her out.
Rebekah noticed Sienna’s inappropriate staring and leaned toward Jensen. “Let’s switch seats p>
He met her concerned gaze, and some of his anger subsided. They switched places, earning a fierce glare from Sienna.
The auction began. Jensen was
there on his father’s behalf. His
parents were traveling, and his father had messaged him yesterday, insisting he acquire the tea set
When it came up for auction, Jensen raised his paddle. Sienna, seeing this, immediately raised hers as well.
